My sisters and their families came over yesterday evening and ate nearly all our pizza and we all (all 10 of us) watched Knuckles. I thought it was going to be a film (slotting in between Sonic 2 and 3 in the film series) but it's a TV series instead, and it's okay, but not exactly compelling. Eh, it did.

Alrighty so… who does fursuit bodysuits? Any recommendations with makers that are open right now?

Preferably makers that can do stand up curly tails too but if necessary I can use my own current existing one 👀

If I was going to sit in your car with you while you drove around, write down everywhere you go, how you drove while you were going there, what time it was, who was in the car with you, and then came with you into the places where you were going, would you be alright with that?

I hope you wouldn't. I hope you'd tell me to fuck all the way off.

So now is the time, to tell that to the insurance companies that want to do just that with their apps.

I also heard that the swastika was from India culturally appropriated by Germans and Nazis. Some who I talked to mentioned how the Nazis defiled their symbolism.
@LeatherCubAndrew I thought I heard the swastika has Norse roots as well, but I could be wrong. No surprise that the Nazis would steal it, though.

@LeatherCubAndrew Not to mention the roman salute.

and they ruin things they steal

Edit: I think that you are correct on the Norse part too. It was used millennia before they co-opted it to mean something very different from what it means today in various cultures.

this is more ethical than me telling my kid brother that he had to be quiet whilst the BBC Model B loaded games from cassette tape, otherwise it could cause it to fail 😅
He didn't forget this, and he discovered I'd been lying to try and get some quiet 😁

Oh, so it's finally voting day in the USA. Please, American friends, make sure you vote if you haven't already. It'll be lovely to have the endless campaigning over and done with. (As long as it's not the orange berk who ends up winning.)

Sure. I'm just surprised to see it is all. Happy, but surprised.
@xoagray Same. I suspect FurryMUCK won't follow their lead.
Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
No idea, I don't know anything about the politics of the people running the MUCKs.
@xoagray For me, that's part of the problem.
janusfox 🍅 mastodon (AP)

@xoagray When outlawing furries and pornography is on the table, more of the weird internet needs to take a stand for sure.

Though the Trump votes on FM seem to have weakened in position considerably as of late. So they claim, who knows how they'll actually vote.

Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
@janusfox Hmm, I haven’t actually run into anyone on there that’s mentioned being a trump voter. For that matter I can’t remember the last time politics came up. Maybe it’s just whom I hang out with, but most of what I’ve heard has been just typical furry chatter or nerdy stuff. (Which is also arguably furry chatter I suppose.)
@xoagray @janusfox I'd rather politics -did- come up at this point. Trump represents an existential threat to so many things I hold dear that when a venue I frequent is silent about it, I am left with questions.
janusfox 🍅 mastodon (AP)
@xoagray The issue we have when politics do come up is that the extremists/nutjobs swiftly take over the conversation and clear the room heh.
@janusfox @xoagray That's why I am okay with the admins of Taps taking a position while explicitly saying 'this isn't an opening for a dialogue'.

because everyone knows china is the only country in the world with the law of "if the government tells a company/person to do something, like making backdoors and spyware, they have to", and btw every single developer/engineer/game creator from there has been personally told to make their creation a spying device /s

Seems above-ground non-rail public transport is royally screwed in London today. I waited probably over half an hour in the cold at Vauxhall bus station for a 10-minutely service. When it arrived the driver said the demonstration (pro-Palestine, I think) blocking the streets meant he was unlikely to make it far. So I walked the 20 minutes to Oval and got the tube. Reached the London furmeet just as the fursuit walk departed, oops. Maybe I should have gone with it, there's no one I know here, as far as I can tell. *sigh*

Feels like Twitter was the frog in boiling pot of water syndrome, it finally got hot enough for folks to jump into a new lukewarm pot (bsky). All the while there is a lilly pad (fedi) safely away from everything that folks just keep finding excuses not to go to...

For moral and political reason I'm glad when folks leave Twitter at least.

Though, apparently sometimes it does work. I know @Scatterplot has been working in the issue 💚
Thumper mastodon (AP)
@twigmouse @Scatterplot I haven't hit that yet, only size limits, but I think I can change that since it's my server, just haven't looked.

“Why don't you like BlueSky?"

Twitter taught me something. Any "For Profit" company is going to be a slave to its need for growth, its investors, and corporate greed.

BlueSky says “We don't want to be like that”. but they're also a for profit company that is going to end up a slave to their investors and their greed just like any other for profit company.

I don't feel like establishing myself there, just to have it all come apart in a few years like Twitter did. Because that's inevitable.

kieran mastodon (AP)
exactly my feelings too.
Paperisiili mastodon (AP)

I don't like for profit companies either, but I think there's a big difference between generic corporate greed and what Twitter has become. It's not even going for profit anymore, just hate and influence.

I wish everyone would come to Mastodon, it's my favorite place, but I'll settle for tempting them to move to Bluesky if that's more realistic. Anything to get away from the dead bird site.

The doctor peeked into the workshop. "Is anyone-"

"Me," the mechanic grunted.

"It's late, we-"

"Busy."

The doctor looked at the crushed droid on the workbench. "With that?"

"There's still a spark!"

"So?"

"Never took an oath like you, but it's a sentient being!"

"Oh! Can I help?"

My Halloween: my sisters acquired a cute inflatable monster and a reflective witch picture for me to stick on the front of my house, and I acquired a bowl of sweets to leave out. My parents and I then visited my sisters for the afternoon/evening and when we got back about ⅔ of the sweets had gone! By my calculations that means at least 20 people took one. (Or more likely fewer people took multiple ones. 😛) And it didn't look like any local wildlife had had a go at them either, so that was good.

I went for a little spidey-walk too. Saw a few decorated houses, said happy halloween to a few people. 🙂

Might be at the Londonfur meet this weekend. Remember to hug a Spidey if you see one there! 😁

** I stopped posting new stories to X/Twitter last autumn, but have kept my account, and the thousands of stories I have written since 2013 are still available.

That will soon end. In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to upload my archive to the Internet Archive, then delete all my stories from X/Twitter.

If you know someone who only follows me there, please help them follow me elsewhere.

I'm not sure if you have presence on Bluesky, but if so there is apparently a (paid) service now that will import your entire archive from Twitter, I think with correct dates and everything. I don't know of one for mastodon, unfortunately.
